Each Classic Hike of the Smokies is $20 for members and $35 for new and renewing members, which includes a one-year membership.

The hike is a fundraiser for Trails Forever, a partnership between Friends of the Smokies and the National Park Service. Trails Forever funds a full-time trail crew to reconstruct and rehabilitate some of the park’s most impacted trails. The crew has just completed restoration of the Rainbow Falls Trail.
